Feca,

tftpd on RH7.1 has a 'security feature' turned on that automatically looks
in the /tftpboot directory.  Therefore, if you have 'filename 
"/tftpboot/lts/vmlinuz.ne2000"
in your dhcpd.conf file, it is really going to really try to download
"/tftpboot/tftpboot/lts/vmlinuz.ne2000".

The quick fix is to modify your /etc/dhcpd.conf file and remove the 
"/tftpboot"
from the filename field.

There is a document on the LTSP.org errata page, available here:

   http://www.LTSP.org/errata.php

It explains the problem in more detail.

Hope that helps,

Jim McQuillan
